"Monev can be used by Public Agencies to show their compliance with Law No. 14/2008 concerning Public Information Openness, as well as their efforts to support Informative Jakarta for the fourth time in 2021. Jakarta KI greatly appreciates public agencies that have committed thus monev assessment category can be expanded," she conveyed.

The exception for this year, Diskominfotik as provincial government PPID is not included in monev because it has participated in central KI monev.
